Lilies for


Welcome my crafty friends!
Today I  have a shadowbox card for you showcasing one of the flowers in Susan's Summer Flora Release the Oriental Lily which is a beautiful flower and what a fragrant flower it is in the garden.

I have linked below all the dies in Susan's New Summer Flora Release plus there is a want it all link which is on sale.  If you click on any one of these links it will take you to Spellbinders where you can shop.  By purchasing through my links I get a small commission on sales at no extra cost to you.  

To make the shadowbox here is a link to Susan's Garden Live Video on how to do it click here

My frame was constructed from 100# cardstock and decorated with die cuts from a couple different Spellbinder die sets.

Cut 2 Oriental Lilies using Summer Flora die set Oriental Lily & Wellies from Susan's Garden Specialty Paper.  Lilies were colored using Distress Ink & gellie pen.  Flowers were shaped using Susan's Deluxe Tool Kit.  Susan has a YouTube video for this which can be found here.

From the Spring Flora Collection I used Spirea ( Bridal Wreath) cutting from Susan's Specialty Cardstock leaves and stems cut from green cardstock.  Colored and shaped using Susan's Deluxe Tool Kit.  Susan's YouTube Video can be found here.

Ladder Ferns from Susan's Spring Flora Collection were cut from green cardstock shaded with ink and shaped using Susan's Deluxe Tool Kit.  YouTube video found here.

P13 Paper Always & Forever was cut to fit inside frame adhering with Clear Double Sided Adhesive.

Sentiment is from Susan's Spring Flora stamped in black ink on white cardstock then die cut and matted in black cardstock.  Adhered to center of frame using Clear Double Sided Adhesive.  

Using Kids Choice Glue my arrangement was adhered to left lower corner of frame starting with the ferns and building from there.

I do hope this has been an inspiration to you and you will create your own version of the shadowbox card.  Remember to order your supplies by clicking on any link below it gives me a small commission at no extra cost to you - thanking you in advance for any purchase through my links no matter how large or small they are.

Good Morning Everyone!  Sorry it has been so long since I have posted but I have been busy getting ready to go to Creative Keepsake Convention and then going to convention. I had a great time taking classes, shopping, eating and enjoying great friends. My post today is using one of Susan's Garden new dies and one of Karen Burniston's pop up dies.  It was hard to get a good clear picture because of the shine from the glitter. Card base is an A2 size card (4-1/4 X 5-1/2) 1.  Panel is made by using Karen Burniston's accordion rectangle die.  Attach a piece of sticker paper  4-1/2 X 5-3/4 to a pc of white cardstock the same size using clear double sided adhesive. Cut 1 frame from this.  Cut the rectangle and tabs from center of frame and the long tab on the left edge of the frame. Run this frame through Sizzix machine using Hearts Entwined embossing folder (or other embossing folder of your choice)  Peel the paper from the front of the frame ( protective p...

Hello My Crafty Friends! Finally the daffodils are blooming and tulips are starting to put on buds - Spring has finally arrived here in Maine. Today my card is one that a friend has requested for her mother.  I have chosen several spring flowers from several Spellbinders Susan's Garden releases to create my card.  For my card I have used S4-1085 Lily of the Valley from Spring flora, S4-1175 Lilac from Garden Favorites, S2-340 Forget Me Not from Garden Gate and S5-470 Vase, Daffodil & Narcissus from Summer Flora.   The card base is one I have done before using other shapes for window Sam Calcott has a YouTube video for it (Acetate Hexagon Card) you can find it here .  I chose to do circle instead of hexagon and cut my cardstock 7" square and circles were 4-3/4" and 3-3/4".  I created a box for the card using  Donna Griffith's How to make your own custom sized boxes YouTube video found here  it is a great video.  I chose to add a framed win...
